Free volume theory of the liquid state developed

Detonation, Free Volume Theory of the Liquid State Developed by Eyring et al and by Lennard-Jones-Devonshire. The free volume theory of the liquid state developed by Eyring Hirshfelder (Ref 1) and by Lennard-Jones Devonshire (Ref 2) has provided a useful approximate description of the thermodynamic props of liquids in terms of intermolecular forces...

Much of the work stems from Simha-Somcynsky (S-S) [1969] hole theory, developed originally to describe polymers in the liquid state. They introduced the free volume by using the formalism of vacant cells or holes in a lattice and developed an equation of state that could be used to calculate the fraction of sites occupied and hence the fractional free volume. As discussed in Chapter 6, the concept has been developed further by Simha and his co-workers.
